Beach ready - More than just beachy waves

Summer is all about looking good and feeling even better – but when there’s a beach to get to or cocktails to drink, faffing with our hair is the last thing on your mind. Our simple sunny hair tips will keep you looking gorgeous all holiday long – whether you’re staying at home or hitting the beach.

Of course, first things first, you’ve got to get your cut and colour on point so book in to see the team about a week before you go if you’re jetting of somewhere fancy:

Beautiful Braids

Plaits are great when it comes to getting that boho look; plus they keep your hair out of your face when you’re contending with a sea breeze. 

There’s also the added bonus that when you take them out, you’ll have lovely loose waves, without spending hours with a curling iron.

Wear your plait in whatever style you fancy. It can be high on the crown, a low side-plait, two braids or even a halo braid if you’re feeling adventurous

Know your knots

Top knots are a perfect way to get your hair out of your face and they’re SO easy to create. 

Give your hair a good brush, pull it up into a ponytail at the crown and secure it with a band. Then twist your hair around until it turns into a little knot. Secure with a second band.  

This look is awesome on women and men with long hair.

If the mood takes you, why not go for two top knots for a change?

Ponies

There are so many choices when it comes to ponytails, and all you really need is a brush and a good hair tie. 

High ponytails are fab for making your cheekbones look really high, which is especially good if it’s simply too hot to contour. 

Low ponytails are the ultimate in low-maintenance, so they’re great for beach trips.

For a cool night-time look that’s quick and easy, wear your ponytail low and to one side. Maybe add a few waves to it using your styling wand.

Summer Hair Accessories

Got your hair all wet and now you don’t know what to do with it? No worries, just cover it up. There are lots of pretty hair accessories out there, that will perfectly complement the summery feel of the rest of your outfit. Hats are the best – they keep you cool, and they can be super stylish. But flowers and scarves work equally well, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
